Today was the big hospital tour. We got a slide show introduction and then went to the women's hospital to see the deliver room, nursery and recovery room (much smaller and more hospital-esque). Walking past the nursery, we saw twins. I have never seen newborn twins before and, boy, are they TINY. Sooo cute, though.
Anyway, as we were touring the recovery room, I heard a baby crying. This set my hormones on fi-YUH. I had to fight hard to hold in my tears. It's getting entertaining now, watching those hormones run rampant. So far I haven't made a complete idiot of myself, but it's a good thing the belly let's people know what to expect in that department.
Last night was girls night with my homies Wendy and Jess. We had a great night of tapas and I watched them drink wine and imagined what that was like ;-) Anyway, before the restaurant I was at Jess' parents house. Her parents said I had the "pregnancy glow". Now, I have heard that before, but I truly don't see it. Is it an aura? Do I just seem more content or is it the "fuller" look I have from gaining weight? I mean, whatever it is, it sounds good, but I feel like I look the same. I definitely FEEL different.
I am waiting for my priorities to shift too. I can't wait for Olivia to come into my world for many reasons, but especially to take my mind off of the small, unimportant things that I seem to focus on.... work things especially. I am truly looking forward to maternity leave and being at home with my girl and just focusing on her and her needs....even though I am still concerned about how I am going to handle that...
Two more days until my birthday and my 3-d ultrasound. I could not think of a better gift to get! I want to see who she is looking more like...that she is definitely a she...what position she is in (what part of her is pushing on me). Olivia is now finding room higher (in my ribs) and lower (way down at the bottom of my belly) to move and groove. It is strange to have someone poking around there along with the standard pushing in the middle area. I want to know what part of her is in my ribs and what part of her is...down there.
Tomorrow I am treating myself to my promised monthly prenatal massage with Rose. I am really looking forward to it. No aches and pains at this time, but I will take an hour of heaven...for the baby.
